In March in the south of the Yangtze River, the breeze blows on the face, and the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the main road, there were three men with long swords, dressed in white, walking in front and behind, with a man walking in front and behind, and a woman in the middle, who looked younger than the other two.

"Second Senior Brother, after driving for the past few days, how far is this Yujiazhuang?" asked the person walking behind to the person walking in front. The person in front of him didn't reply, and replied directly: "I inquired about it just now, and there is a river further on, and after crossing that river, you will reach Yujiazhuang after a few miles." What, are you tired?" The man behind heard his question, and hurriedly said, "I'm not tired, it's possible that the little junior sister is tired." The woman in the middle heard this, and burst out laughing: "Fifth Senior Brother, if you are tired, tell the Second Senior Brother clearly, don't talk to me, I am very energetic, who doesn't know that among our Yunzhuang disciples, your light skills are the worst." The second senior brother said: "Little junior sister, don't laugh at your fifth senior brother, he is just not good at light skills, the so-called 'art industry has a specialization', if you talk about swordsmanship, your fifth senior brother is one of the best among us." "I know, Second Senior Brother!" the woman in the middle replied with a smile.

These three people turned out to be disciples of Baiyun Peak Yunzhuang. The one who walked in front was called Qin Zun, and he was the second apprentice of Yunzhuang Zhuang advocating Fang Zhou. The one who walked behind was called Zhou Kun, who was Zhang Fangzhou's fifth apprentice. The woman in the middle is named Zhang Yuting, Zhang Fangzhou's only daughter, and because she is the youngest, she calls the other disciples of Yunzhuang "senior brother".

While the three of them were talking, they walked to the river that Qin Zun said, and the three of them stopped when they saw that the river was wider. Zhang Yuting saw that there was no bridge on the river and asked Qin Zun: "Second senior brother, the river is so wide, how can we cross the river?" Qin Zun said: "I never thought that there was no bridge on this river, you see that there is a small boat moored on the other side of the river, but I don't see anyone on the boat, it seems that we are going to make a detour."

After all, Zhou Kun was still tired of walking, and he didn't want to take a long detour, so he said: "This detour, I don't know how long it will take, maybe where the boatman is lying and sleeping, the sun is drying at noon, and it is inevitable that he will doze off." ”

As soon as Zhang Yuting heard Zhou Kun's words, she thought that there was some truth, so she shouted loudly: "Hey, is there anyone! We want to cross the river!" Zhou Kun also shouted. Qin Zun saw that the two of them shouted a few times and no one responded, so he said, "Forget it, let's take a detour." Although Zhang Yuting and Zhou Kun were unwilling, they were helpless and had no choice but to agree.

The three of them were just about to leave, when they suddenly saw a shirtless teenager emerge from the water, holding a big fish tightly in both hands. The young man threw the fish into the boat and jumped into the boat himself, and then slowly swung the boat towards Qin Zun and the others. When the three men saw this, they stopped and waited for the boat to come.

The naked boy stopped the boat in front of the three and said, "Get on the boat." Qin Zun and the three of them hurriedly jumped into the boat. Qin Zun saw that the young man was younger than Zhang Yuting, he seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, with fair skin and clear eyebrows. Qin Zun thought that he would have to ferry people to beg for a living at a young age, and couldn't help but feel pity and said, "Little brother, how much is the boat money, I will pay you double." I don't want the young man to hear this, he frowned and said, "I don't want the money, you can help me clean up the fish." ”

Zhou Kun was not happy when he heard this: "Fish, what fish to clean up?" The young man said impatiently: "It's the fish I caught on the boat just now." Zhou Kun was already a little bored, and the young man didn't speak with him, so he started a fire: "Stinky boy, what do you think of us!"

Qin Zun knew that his junior brother was short-tempered, and it was easy to make a move with someone if he didn't deal with it with a few words, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Zhou Kun: "Fifth junior brother, don't be angry." Little brother, you help us cross the river first, and I will give you the boat money when we get to the other side. The three of us will also visit a respected old-timer in a while, if you help you open the fish and clean it, it will inevitably leave a fishy smell on your hands, so it seems a little not dignified to see the senior, so we will not help you clean up the fish, and please be considerate of the little brother. ”

The young man smiled: "If you don't want to help, forget it, your hands are stained with fishy smell, wouldn't it be good to wash them in the water?" ”

Zhou Kun said angrily: "What? We set up the boat by ourselves? I don't think you want the boat money!" The young man said: "I'm not a ferryman, I'm just lending the boat to you." So saying, the young man took out a knife out of nowhere, squatted down and scraped the scales.

Zhang Yuting saw the young man squatting there ignoring Zhou Kun, afraid that Zhou Kun would get angry and hurt him, and hurriedly said: "Fifth Senior Brother, don't be angry, he may be tired, so you can set up the boat." Little brother, thank you for borrowing our boat. That Zhou Kun was originally angry and was about to have a seizure, but he was shoehorned back by Zhang Yuting's words, and said angrily: "Okay, stinky boy, I won't bother with you today." I'll set up this boat!" the boy didn't answer, but just collected his fish there.

That week, Kunben grew up in a fisherman's house, and when he shook the oars, the boat was stable. It didn't take long for the boat to reach the opposite shore.

After getting off the boat, Qin Zun took out a few pennies and gave them to the young man: "Little brother, thank you, please accept these pennies." The young man waved his hand and said, "I told you, I don't want money." As he spoke, he walked under a tree, broke a branch, and threaded it into the belly of his freshly washed fish.

Zhang Yuting looked at it and thought it was funny, so she asked, "Little brother, what are you going to do here, do you want to grill fish and eat it?" The young man didn't speak, but nodded. Zhang Yuting then asked: "So you just came to catch fish in the river, not a ferry." The young man glanced at Zhang Yuting, and fiddled with the fish again: "I have already said that I am not ferrying, there was originally a bridge on this river, but it rained heavily a few days ago, and the river rose and collapsed the bridge." You're lucky to have met me today, or you'd have taken a detour. ”

When Qin Zun heard this, he put away the money and said, "So that's the case, my junior brother has a lot of inconsiderate words, and I ask the little brother to bear with me." When Zhou Kun saw Qin Zun say this, he felt that he was really wrong, so he hurriedly apologized: "Little brother, I'm sorry just now, I'm a little quick-tempered, and I speak a little impulsively, don't take it to heart." What's that, second senior brother, let's go quickly, it's important to hurry. The boy smiled and said, "It's nothing, you should hurry up." Qin Zun arched his hand and replied: "Well, that's good, little brother, thank you!

The three of them said goodbye to the boy and continued on their way. It was still Qin Zun in front, Zhou Kun in the back, and Zhang Yuting in the middle.

Not long after leaving the riverbank, Zhang Yuting suddenly smiled and said, "Fifth Senior Brother, I heard it right just now, you will apologize to others!" Zhou Kun touched his head and said embarrassedly: "Little junior sister, don't make fun of me, I did say the wrong thing just now." Qin Zun said: "Fifth junior brother, with a temper like yours, I don't know how much I will suffer when I go to the rivers and lakes alone in the future, if you don't agree with each other, you have to do it, how many people do you want to tie up, you have to restrain your temper." Little junior sister, you also have to remember, don't learn from your fifth senior brother, you can't be angry. ”

"Yes!" replied in unison.

After walking a short time, the three of them saw a large manor in front of them. Qin Zun said: "The front should be Yujiazhuang." Zhou Kun looked at the manor and said: "Look at this scale, it is really extraordinary, no wonder this Yujiazhuang is called 'the first village in the south of the Yangtze River'." Zhang Yuting was a little unconvinced after listening to Zhou Kun's words, so she asked: "'The first village in the south of the Yangtze River'?" Fifth senior brother, this Yujiazhuang looks very magnificent, but our Yunzhuang is not worse than him, why is this Yujiazhuang ranked first?" Zhou Kun said: "Little junior sister, this Yujiazhuang has been almost two hundred years since it was built, not to mention that it is famous in the south of the Yangtze River, that is, in the entire Great Song Dynasty, which one of the rivers and lakes will not know this Hangzhou Yujiazhuang." What's more, Yu Wanting, the owner of this Yujiazhuang, is still the leader of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Alliance, this Yujiazhuang is not the first, who dares to call it the first?"

Qin Zun heard that Zhang Yuting didn't answer, so he looked back at her. Seeing that Zhang Yuting pouted and was silent, Qin Zun thought that she must have been a little unhappy after hearing Zhou Kun's words, so he said: "That being said, our Yunzhuang has been less than twenty years since the master opened the mountain and built the village, and now it is already well-known in the rivers and lakes, so in a few years, our Yunzhuang may not lose to Yujiazhuang." Of course, this also requires us to practice diligently every day, improve our martial arts, and fight for the master's face. Fifth junior brother, you don't want to grow other people's ambition there and destroy your own prestige, Master is afraid that he will be unhappy when he hears your words. ”

Zhang Yuting listened, clapped her hands and smiled: "That's it, that's it, the fifth senior brother knows that if you say good to others there, our Yunzhuang will become the 'No. 1 Village in the South of the Yangtze River' sooner or later, no, it's the 'No. 1 Village in the world'! If you talk like this, I will tell my father and let him punish you!" Zhou Kun blushed and said: "You two can say whatever you want, I just tell the truth, Master He won't blame me if he listens to my words." Qin Zun said with a smile: "Okay, it's about to go to Yujiazhuang, don't laugh, let's hurry up." ”

Although the three of them had already seen the Yu family's manor, they still walked for a while before they arrived. After Qin Zun and the three of them sent the prayer post, they waited for a while before a servant introduced the three of them into the village. Qin Zun and the three of them followed the servant who led the way and walked around the village for a long time, stopping in front of a large house. The servant who led the way stood in front of the door and shouted, "The three of Yunzhuang have arrived!" I saw that the door of the house opened, and another maid came out of the house, and welcomed the three into the house, and the servant who had led the way before turned around and hurried away without even entering the door.

Qin Zun and the three of them entered the house, but they didn't see anyone else in the house. The maid said to the three of them, "Please sit down, there is tea and snacks here, please use them slowly." My old lady has just been practicing in the garden, please wait here for a while, and the old lady will be there soon. So the maid withdrew, leaving the three of them alone in the house. Although the three of them didn't speak, they were all muttering in their hearts: "This Yujiazhuang is such a big pomp! ”

Zhou Kun was bored and picked up the dim sum and ate it, and said while eating: "Senior sister, this pastry tastes good, you can also try it." Zhang Yuting glanced at Zhou Kun and said, "We also have pastries at home, what do you eat here with him." Zhou Kun said: "Anyway, it's okay to be idle, and the rest of the old-timers don't know when to come, eat pastries to pass the time, if you don't eat, give me your share." ”

As he was talking, he heard laughter from outside the door: "Hahaha, the old man is late, let the three young heroes wait for a long time!" As soon as the three of them heard this, they knew that Yu Wanting had arrived, and hurriedly stood up. I saw a person striding in from outside the door, tall and strong, if it weren't for his white beard, no one would have thought that this person was an old man of nearly seventy years old.

The three of them stepped forward and clasped their fists and saluted: "Yu Alliance Master!" Then Yu Wanting waved his hand and said: "Excuse me, excuse me!" Which of you is Qin Zun?" Qin Zun took a step forward and replied: "Yu Alliance Lord, the junior is." Yu Wanting looked at Qin Zun fixedly, clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful, it's really a talent! I heard that there is a 'Four Sons of Martial Arts' on the rivers and lakes recently, and we have Yunzhuang Qin Zun in Jiangnan, so I have always wanted to see it." I can see it today, and it really lives up to its name!"

Qin Zun said: "The predecessors have an overreputation, and they are all false praises from friends on the rivers and lakes, and they can't be true." ”

Yu Wanting smiled: "Hahaha, you don't have to be modest, although I rarely inquire about things in the rivers and lakes recently, I have heard of the name of the second son of Qin in Yunzhuang." I heard that in the past few years, Yunzhuang's affairs on the rivers and lakes have been taken care of by your master, young and promising, young and promising! Xu Yun and Qin Zun ...... Well, your Yunzhuang will definitely become the mainstay of martial arts in the future!"

That Qin Zun was originally smiling and listening to Yu Wanting's speech, but when he heard him mention Xu Yun, there was a slight displeasure on his face, but he immediately turned to a smile and said, "The senior said that he was laughing." And Zhang Yuting, who was standing on the side, heard Yu Wanting mention the word "Xu Yun", but she couldn't help but be overjoyed and asked, "Senior Yu, do you recognize my senior brother?"

"Your senior brother?"

"It's Xu Yun, you just mentioned. Zhang Yuting said.

"You are Zhang Daxia's daughter. Ah, you don't have to be restrained, sit down, sit down. You said Xu Shaoxia, of course the old man recognizes it. Ten years ago, at the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference, he defeated the three masters of the Tianwang Gang by himself, and his skills overwhelmed the Jiangnan Heroes. Alas, but he doesn't seem to be walking around the rivers and lakes lately. ”

Zhang Yuting couldn't help but feel happy in her heart when she heard Yu Wanting's words, and couldn't help but start imagining what Xu Yun looked like at the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference ten years ago. Qin Zun was unhappy when he saw Zhang Yuting's expression, so he changed the topic and said, "Master Yu Meng, in fact, we came here this time because the disciples of Yujiazhuang in Hangzhou City were injured a month ago. ”

Yu Wanting said solemnly: "Oh, what do you say?"

Qin Zun continued: "A month ago, several disciples of Guizhuang were injured in Hangzhou City, and the injured person claimed to be a disciple of our Yunzhuang, although Guizhuang did not send anyone up the mountain to inquire about the matter at that time, the family teacher still heard the news and instructed the juniors to investigate the matter-"

Yu Wanting didn't wait for Qin Zun to finish speaking, and then said, "This matter was done by the Heavenly King Gang. ”

Qin Zun was stunned and said, "It turns out that the alliance leader already knows that this matter was indeed done by the people of the Heavenly King Gang. ”

Yu Wanting shook his head and said, "I don't know about this matter. Now the affairs of the village are basically handed over to the granddaughter-in-law, and she did not tell the old man about the injury of the disciple in the village, presumably the granddaughter-in-law also knows who the mastermind of this matter is. Hmph, the leader of the Tianwang Gang intends to command the world's heroes, and my Yujiazhuang has a good reputation in the Jiangnan area, and he has long been regarded as a thorn in his side. Now that Yunzhuang is rising in Wulin again, this move must be to provoke a dispute between our two families, so that he can take advantage of the fisherman, but the method of the Heavenly King Gang is too inferior. Hehe, who in the rivers and lakes doesn't know that Zhang Fangzhou and Zhang Daxia of Yunzhuang taught their disciples to obtain the Fa, and all the apprentices are chivalrous people, how can this Yunzhuang disciple do such a thing that violates the morality of the rivers and lakes? The Heavenly King Gang is not very clever in this move. ”

Qin Zun couldn't help but admire when he heard this, thinking that although Yu Wanting was old, he was not confused when he encountered trouble, no wonder he would be promoted to be the leader of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Alliance. Seeing that Yu Wanting was no longer speechless, Qin Zun took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yu Wanting and said: "What the alliance leader said is extremely true, this letter is written by the family teacher, and I also ask the alliance leader to look at it." ”

Yu Wanting took out the letter, skimmed through it roughly, and saw that the things mentioned in the letter were roughly the same as Fang Cai's own analysis, so he put the letter aside and asked Qin Zun, "Has the Lingshi explained anything else to you?"

Qin Zun said: "Before going down the mountain this time, Master said that the strength of the Heavenly King Gang has recovered in recent years, and the activities of the Heavenly King Gang in Jiangnan have also become frequent, so let the juniors remind the alliance leader to pay more attention. The master also said that if the alliance leader needs Yunzhuang's contribution, Yunzhuang's disciples must do their best. ”

"Okay, okay! I'll keep an eye on it. It's not too early this day, so let's stay overnight in our village tonight, and wait for me to write a reply letter, and bother a few of you to bring the letter back to Yunzhuang. Yu Wanting seemed to think of something, stroked his beard and continued, "Hmm...... Well, tomorrow I will let my little grandson personally bring the letter back to Yunzhuang with you. ”

Qin Zun couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "It's just a letter, why let Ling Sun run this time?"

Yu Wanting said: "Hahaha, my grandson knows about safaris every day, and it is better to find something for him to do than to let him fool around at home." Don't worry, my grandson won't cause you any trouble, hehehe. Come on, please invite the three young heroes of Yunzhuang to dinner!"

Qin Zun listened to Yu Wanting's words, but he became uneasy, but he couldn't refuse Yu Wanting's grandson to accompany him, so he had to agree.

After the three of them had dinner, they came down to the guest room under the guidance of the domestic servant, Qin Zun and Zhou Kun lived in one room, Zhang Yuting lived in one room by herself, and the two rooms happened to be next to each other.

Zhou Kun lay on the bed and said to Qin Zun: "Second Senior Brother, this old man is really talking a lot, if you don't mention the purpose of our trip to him, I think he may talk to us until midnight." Also, these old seniors are always giggling when they talk, and they really don't have the frame of the martial arts alliance leader at all. ”

Qin Zun sat on the chair and recalled Yu Wanting's words today, and said for a while: "Well, I heard the legend on the rivers and lakes before, ten years ago, at the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference, this Yu Alliance Master was promoted to the position of League Leader by Jiangnan Qunhao. It is said that he is actually a quiet and empty person, maybe he himself does not regard himself as the leader of the martial arts alliance. ”

"It's possible. Zhou Kun suddenly sat up from the bed, "By the way, Second Senior Brother, today Senior Yu mentioned that Senior Brother defeated the master of the Heavenly King Gang at the martial arts conference back then, do you know about this?"

Qin Zun glanced at Zhou Kun and said coldly: "Ten years ago, I didn't go up the mountain, I don't know the situation back then, I only know that in that martial arts conference, our master defeated Wang Guanru, the leader of the Heavenly King Gang, and our Yunzhuang also made a name for itself in the rivers and lakes from that time." As for the matter of the elder brother, I don't know. ”

"In this way, I thought the second senior brother knew it. Zhou Kun lay down again, "But then again, I've been on the mountain for a few years, and I haven't seen the senior brother a few times—"

Before Zhou Kun finished speaking, he heard Zhang Yuting's voice outside the house: "Hey, wait a minute, aren't you the little brother who catches fish?"

The person who was stopped by Zhang Yuting outside the door was the boy who was swinging the boat he met by the river today.

The boy was still shirtless, with his coat over his shoulders and two fish in his left hand. The young man was walking in the yard, and when he heard Zhang Yuting calling him, he was really taken aback when he saw Qin Zun and Zhou Kun coming out of the room next to him: "Why are you here?"

Zhang Yuting jumped up to the young man and smiled: "Why are we here?" I want to ask you, why are you here?" The young man raised his eyebrows and said, "Why am I here? This is my home! I'm not surprised to be here, but you...... Oh...... When you say you're going to see a respectable old man by the river today, you're not talking about my grandfather, are you? No wonder I didn't think it was—"

"What grandfather? You said that Lord Yu is your grandfather?" Qin Zun listened to the young man's words and walked in front of the young man, "Then you are the little grandson of Lord Yu Meng?"

"He's my grandfather, I'm not his grandson, is that his son, you're so strange. The young man looked at the three of them, rubbed his eyes, and yawned, "Are you all right, I'll leave first, I'm tired after a day of playing outside." ”

When Zhou Kun heard this, he was unhappy, but when he thought that this young man was Yu Wanting's grandson, it was inconvenient to get angry, for fear that Yu Wanting would blame himself if he found out, so he held back his anger and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Second senior brother, let's go back to the house." Qin Zun didn't seem to hear it, standing there as if he wanted to say something to the young man, at this time, several people heard a woman's voice: "Ah Fei, are you there?"

When the young man heard the woman's voice, he hurriedly replied, "Sister-in-law, I'm ...... I'm here!"

Qin Zun and the others followed the voice and saw that it was a woman in red who spoke.

"So you're here, where are you crazy, haven't you eaten, grandpa is looking for you everywhere. The woman walked up to the boy as she spoke.

"Eat...... "The boy replied.

"You go to the river again, and you don't have a head when you play, and you don't know how to go home when it's dark. The woman in red put the coat on the young man's shoulders for him, and then turned to Qin Zun and the three of them, and said a thousand blessings, "Several, I'm really sorry, my old lady is in a hurry to find Ah Fei, if it doesn't matter, I'll take this kid away first." ”

"Please, please. Qin Zun responded.

"Let's go. The woman patted the boy on the head, and the boy obediently followed her away.

"It turns out that this kid's name is Ah Fei. Seeing that the two of them had gone away, Zhou Kun asked, "Second Senior Brother, who is that woman, she looks like a fairy." ”

"Ah Fei calls her sister-in-law, she should be 'Red Sleeves Fragrance' Liu Yusleeve Liu Woman, and now she is taking care of the affairs of Yujiazhuang. Qin Zun looked at the two people who were far away thoughtfully.

"Oh, it turns out that she is the granddaughter-in-law that Yu said in his mouth," Zhou Kun said.

"Well, it should be her. Qin Zun nodded, then turned to Zhang Yuting and said, "Senior sister, it's cold at night, you can go back to the house quickly." ”

Zhang Yuting stood in place, nodded, and said nothing.

"She's so pretty. Looking at the back of the woman in red, Zhang Yuting thought to herself.
